The commission's motor carrier safety employees conduct compliance reviews of regulated firms, generally at the company terminal. These reviews involve inspecting records related to vehicle maintenance, driver qualifications, and drug and alcohol testing and inspecting vehicles used to provide service to the public.

Each company that receives a compliance review gets one of three safety ratings that denotes how well the company meets requirements for safe operations: satisfactory, conditional, and unsatisfactory. Companies that receive anything other than a satisfactory rating are re-inspected to ensure they have improved their safety practices.
